HOW IT WORKS Figure A This Distiller produces purified water by using the oldest, most effective method of water treatment–steam distillation. When the Distiller is operating, the water temperature rises to 212° F (100° C), killing bacteria, cysts, and viruses that may be present. As boiling water (1) converts to steam (2), it rises and leaves behind dead microbes, dissolved solids, salts, heavy metals, and other substances.
PREPARING FOR FIRST TIME USE Clean Collection/Storage Bottle Remove collection/storage bottle (fig. B) from INSIDE Distiller. Carefully remove contents and assemble per instructions included inside bottle.
